"I want to know what was his reason for Tasing me," Garcia said Thursday. "I want to know why he felt like he had to."

Garcia said he got into a fight with another student in English class.

His teacher asked him to leave the classroom to cool off, he told KCRA 3.

When Garcia got into the hallway, he said he realized the other student had followed him.

A fist fight began, he said, but it didn't last long.

"I feel a really bad pain, and all I do is just fall to the ground," Garcia said, recalling the incident. "I fall to the ground on my face, and then I was on the ground and I couldn't move my body -- and I hear him say, 'If you move again, I will Tase you again."

Garcia said the two-pronged stun gun hit him on the stomach, and the other student on the arm.

KCRA 3 made multiple attempts to ask the Twin Rivers Unified School District, which oversees the police department, why an officer used a stun gun in the first place.

While the district confirmed a stun gun was used to stop the fight, officials would not comment on the situation, and denied KCRA 3's request for a copy of the police report, which is public record.

It's rare for a stun gun to be deployed on a student, said Vince Matranga, the former chief of security for the Sacramento City School District.

He served in that role for 36 years before retiring.

"A Taser might be used if they have a weapon that they are using during the fight, or they really become combative with the officers, and pepper spray is not working," Matranga said. "Then I could see a Taser being used."

But Garcia said he doesn't know why a stun gun was used in this case.

Garcia was suspended for a week. He said he will be home-schooled for the rest of the school year.
